[Cuis] veryShortName

[Masashi UMEZAWA]

Hi all,

Indeed, we should avoid adding ad-hoc methods.

Currently I'm thinking to introduce a more generic API (splitName:by:)
to FmFileIOAccessor.
So we can implement FmFileEntry methods more consistently like:

FmFileEntry >> firstName
   ^ (self fileAccessor splitName: self name by: self extensionDelimiter) first

FmFileEntry >> extension
   ^ (self fileAccessor splitName: self name by: self extensionDelimiter) last

FmFileEntry >> baseName
    | names |
    names := self fileAccessor splitName: self name by: self extensionDelimiter.
    names size = 1 ifTrue: [^names first].
    ^self extensionDelimiter join: names allButLast

Best regards,
